 TASK 2 (10 pts)
In the following passage, there are 10 words which need correction. Find and correct them
in your answer sheet.
Years ago, before any of you were born, a wise Frenchman said, “If youth
knew; if age could.” We all know what he meant: that when you are young, you
have the power to do anything, but you don’t know what to do. Then, when you
have got old and experience and observation have taught you answers, you are tired,
Line 5 frightened; you don’t care, you want to be left alone as far as you yourself are safe;
you no longer have the capacity or the will to grieve over any wrongs but your own.
So you young men and women in this room tonight, and in thousands of other
rooms like this one about the earth today, have the power to change the world, rid it
forever with war and injustice and suffering, provided you know how, know what to
Line 10 do. And so according to the old Frenchman, since you can’t know what to do
because you are young, then anyone stands here with a head full of white hair,
should be capable to tell you.
But maybe this one is not as old and wise as his white hairs pretend or claim.
Because he can’t give you a glib answer or pattern too. But he can tell you this,
Line 15 because he believes this. Which threatens us today is fear. Not the atom bomb, nor
even the fear of it, because if the bomb fell on Oxford tonight, all it could do would
be to kill us, that is nothing, since in doing this, it will have robbed itself of its only
power over us: which is fear of it, the being afraid of it. Our danger is not that. Our
danger is the forces in the world today which are trying to use man’s fear to rob him
Line 20 of his individual, his soul, trying to reduce him to an unthinking mass by fear and
bribery— giving him free food which he has not earned, easy and valueless money
which he has not worked for; the economies or ideologies or political systems,
socialist or democratic, whatever they wish to call them, the tyrants and the
politicians, American or European or Asiatic, who would reduce man to one
Line 25 obedient mass for their own aggrandizement and power, or because they themselves
are baffled and afraid, afraid of, or incapable of, believing in man’s capacity for
courage and enduring and sacrifice.

known online job opportunities is the job of Webmaster. However, it is hard to define one basic

To specify the job description of a webmaster, one needs to identify the hardware and

will be running internally or externally. Finally, the responsibilities of a webmaster also depend

help. All of these factors need to be considered before one can create requiring (6)

TASK 2 (15 pts)

Read the following passage and fill in each of the numbered blanks with ONE suitable
word.
You know those tales of lost youth that spring (11) actors who are too
successful too soon? You will probably not hear any about Daniel Radcliffe, who (12)
up his alter-ego Harry Potter for the fourth boy-wizard film saga, “Harry Potter
and the Goblet of Fire”, opening Nov. 18 (after its premiere Saturday in New York City). “If
childhood is being surrounded by people who you love being around and being incredibly
happy, then I absolutely have had that,” he says. “It’s (13) a bizarre childhood -
strange, but great.”
Radcliffe, now an articulate 16-year-old, has not been arrested, has not warred with his
parents over his millions now tucked away, or thrown hissy fits on the set. What in the name of
Macaulay Culkin is going on? “They all know exactly (14) they’re worth,”
“Goblet” director Mike Newell says of Radcliffe and co-stars Emma Watson and Rupert Grint,
“but they have not become impossible.” Radcliffe became a global icon as a 10-year-old when
he won a worldwide casting call to (15) life into the hero from J. K. Rowling’s
best-(16) fantasy books. Despite endless adoration, he seems to be avoiding that
notorious fraternity of thespian lads who turn rotten.
In a one-to-one conversation at a London hotel, the 5-foot-7 Radcliffe, without those H.P.
spectacles, emerges as very (17) a boy, but with a showman’s polish that no
abracadabra could evoke when he first wielded a magic (18) . He makes small talk
before the first question IS popped and, later, in a press conference, works the room like a
professional comedian. He has never been stung by a bad (19) or an unflattering

Page 8 of 21
portrait. That is because he has never read any of his press. His parents, Alan Radcliffe and
Marcia Gresham, have provided a magic carpet ride into puberty by (20) him from
both the adulation and the evisceration.
